Flex talks with Australian Crime Fiction great Chris Hammer about his newest novel, 'The Valley'. Ivan and Nell are summoned, suspiciously early, to a homicide just outside the town of Saltwood, in a community called The Valley. Struggling after decades of failed schemes to restore wealth to the resource-rich town, Nell stumbles upon a personal link to the crime, and has to juggle her professional interest with the risks a personal case can pose to getting a conviction. Water politics is once again the canvas upon which Chris Hammer paints his thrills. Thank you to Allen & Unwin for providing copies of The Valley to Death of the Reader, and arranging our time with Chris.
